It’s so strange that this article doesn’t mention what the AEA statement implies was the primary reason for the ban - his explicit discussion of requiring sexual favors for mentorship.

For those of us with chronic illnesses, this shit is terrifying. It’s not just the cost of insurance, it’s about whether you can get insurance at all.
